Use ability is horrible on an apple touch screen device as when ready to scroll you get the zoom in screen. Same on ipad and iphone but not on android. Tried all the supposed fixes. ### 4/5 — cannot log in *2026-02-19, version 7.9.8* dont know why ### 5/5 — I get the side bar but no content: Fixed for now *2026-01-19, version 7.9.7* This just started recently. Is it something I did or is a fix coming? Ok restarted the iPad now ok I just hope this isn't a recurring thing. 4 stars for now. ### 3/5 — Translation feature is terrible. *2026-01-12* I subscribed for the translation feature, but the translations were the worst I've ever seen. The app itself is fine, but I've decided to cancel my subscription. **Developer response:** Dear user, We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the service. Please get in touch with our support at support@inoreader.com about this so we can improve the functionality and fix any bugs that you might be encountering. ### 5/5 — Simple and functional *2026-01-07, version 7.9.7* Exactly what I wanted. No significant issues. ### 5/5 — Old Tech, Sharp Mind, Zero Noise *2025-12-19* RSS sounds ancient. A technology paddling along since the 1990s, declared “obsolete” by the same crowd that thinks screaming algorithms equal progress. And yet, here it is, quietly doing what social media refuses to do: let you think. Inoreader is for people who don’t enjoy being shouted at by trends. No glamour, no dopamine traps, no “people like you also believe this” nonsense. Just feeds. Chosen by you. Controlled by you. Social media thrives on bias reinforcement. If you lean one way, it leans harder for you. Inoreader does the opposite. Want to read about the Ukraine war? You can place Western media, Global South voices, Chinese takes, Russian narratives all side by side. No invisible hand tilting the scale. Perspective becomes a choice, not an accident. In today’s fractured world, that alone makes this app feel almost radical. Functionally, it’s powerful. You want parenting? Follow every major parenting magazine. Football? Tech? Automation? Climate? You build your own newsroom, topic by topic, continent by continent. No one decides what matters except you. Feature wise, Inoreader punches above its weight. The text-to-audio option is surprisingly good, clear voice, easy listening. The free plan gives you five audio articles a day, which feels stingy but fair. The paid version unlocks unlimited listening and smarter tools like duplicate detection. Heavy, yes, but thoughtfully heavy. The free version still works well if you’re a casual global observer. Want to know what Kenya, Japan, Singapore, or India are discussing, without waiting for the algorithmic gods to approve it? Just follow the source. It shows up. Simple. Honest. The only real drawback: volume dominance. If one source publishes every minute, it can drown your dashboard. Some better noise balancing, tags, throttling, or source weighting would help. It might exist in paid features; it might not. Either way, it’s noticeable. Compared to others: Feedly looks prettier. Ground News feels polished. But neither gives you the raw, surgical control that Inoreader does. Inoreader isn’t here to entertain you. It’s here to inform you, on your terms. And in a world addicted to noise, that feels quietly revolutionary. ### 3/5 — الأخبار غير مكتملة *2025-12-17, version 7.9.7* الكثير من القنوات الأخبار فيها غير مكتملة مما يضطرنا لنسخ رابط الخبر في المتصفح وقراءته ### 3/5 — Like this app except......... *2025-11-29, version 7.9.7* That phrase seems to be mentioned a lot for reviews of this app, sorry but it's true. I don't ask for much or need much. All I want is an app that shows me articles from the feeds I selected. The issue is, why do I have to start the app twice on my iPad to get it to display the news from the feeds? It is really getting annoying .....annoying to the point that I'm thinking of switching again. ### 2/5 — YouTubeの埋め込み動画が上半分ほどしか表示されない *2025-11-15* この現象のせいでアプリ内で動画が見れない。iPadだと全画面表示もできないので、とても不便。 また、iPhoneでは全画面表示できるものの、字幕をつけて見たい場合は全画面にしないで見る必要があるので不便。 ### 3/5 — Does not work with VoiceOver *2025-10-27, version 7.9.6* App does everything I would like it too but it's incompatible with VoiceOver. Buttons are not labeled so voiceover says merely "button" rather than helpful descriptive text. ### 2/5 — Not Designed with Accessibility in Mind *2025-10-26, version 7.9.6* There’s no options to change font size in the app’s interface with the expecting of article text font size. It’s great that the article font is dynamic, but it’s useless if the user can’t read the text on their feed to click the article or the text in the app’s interface / settings. ### 2/5 — A lot of feeds are breaking *2025-10-13, version 7.9.5* I really liked this app but now am finding that the feeds are breaking, even for feeds which are found through the Discover section of the application. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Font size issues *2026-08-21, version 7.9.11* I would rate this app a whole lot higher except you can’t make the font on the article listing bigger. I have it set to “Huge” in the settings but it never changes. ### 1/5 — No Notifs? *2026-07-25, version 7.9.11* Spent $80 on a year subscription to this hoping that i’d be able to get info I care about blared at me via iPhone notifications. 3 weeks ago: I enabled all the topics I care about then , turned on notifications as loud as possible - sounds, badges, banner style persistent, announce notifs (on), show previews (always), prioritize notifications (on). Have yet to receive a single notification from this app but it does have a little “1010” red missed notification tag on its app button. What a bummer! ### 1/5 — They’ve removed export OPML option *2026-07-09, version 7.9.11* Brutal to have invested the time of curating feed and find export option to have been removed hindering review options ### 1/5 — Stop asking *2026-05-10, version 7.9.10* I like the app. I wish they would stop asking me to rate it every darn day. ### 1/5 — サーバー落ちがひどく、全く接続できない *2026-04-09* お金をかなり取られる上に、サーバー落ちがひどく記事をまともに読めない ### 1/5 — Anfangs nice *2026-03-24* Doch jetzt geht garnichts mehr. Keine Ahnung was passiert ist. Von einem Tag zum anderen kein Feed mehr. ### 1/5 — No teams support *2026-01-02, version 7.9.7* Why can’t I view my teams feeds? ### 1/5 — recent update broke it *2025-10-12, version 7.9.5* I was happily using this rss reader until the most recent update wiped all of my subscriptions. Any product that fails this badly after an update is not reliable enough to use. ### 1/5 — GUI is so bad now *2025-09-29, version 7.9.4* The moron designers at this company have continually made the UI worse. I’ve been using Inoreader for years and now I feel like I’m trapped with garbage because nothing else offers the same feature set. The new “dark” mode is purple. It should be dark grey or black like it was prior. This is awful and the devs don’t care. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-09-05, version 7.9.2* Keeps asking me to verify my account, at least once an hour. If this continues I will have to delete & cancel subscription. Beyond ANNOYING. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-09-02, version 7.9.11* Does what it says. Doesn’t ask for much. Intuitive. I never leave reviews on stuff. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-23, version 7.9.11* Love it. Best newsreader I’ve used since Google News died. ### 5/5 — Great Tool *2026-07-21, version 7.9.11* Have been using it for a few years without complaint. We’ll see what happens once it is time to renew….. ### 5/5 — Simple, facile et efficace *2026-07-17, version 7.9.11* Cette application de lecture de flux RSS est super et mérite les quelques dollards par mois pour la version pro ### 5/5 — Add support for X/Twitter *2026-07-09, version 7.9.11* Please Add support for X/Twitter thank you ### 5/5 — Review *2026-06-20, version 7.9.11* It’s good ### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use *2026-06-04, version 7.9.11* Best newsfeed app so far ### 5/5 — 基本的に問題ない *2026-03-31* ごく稀にサーバーの反応が悪くなるが、それを補って余りあるだけの価値はあります。 当方、一番安いレベルの課金をしています。 ### 5/5 — いい *2026-03-28* Evernoteが改悪を繰り返し、Pocket終了先として乗り換えたけど、不満はほぼない。RSSリーダーとして、前2者を圧倒している利便性。 ### 5/5 — Excellent RSS reader *2026-03-13, version 7.9.9* Great way to consume digital media. Avoid doomscrolling without having to completely disconnect. Just paid for the pro subscription One feature request though: it would be great if articles were automatically marked as read when you scroll past them in the iOS app. This feature is present on the desktop web app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
